Chapter 209 Accidents

Alex disagreed with what Elly said. This friend doesn't have to play. Moreover, he can clearly see Linda's attitude, just like last time, her feelings were more important than her friends.

Elly thought silently, and she also felt that Linda attached great importance to an old friend like her. She thought of this and Elly forgave her for her overbearing behavior.

She thought that the birthday party went on smoothly, but then, Alex and Secretary Gerald received a call from the company at the same time.

Something happened to the company.

Alex and Gerald just looked at each other. They said their goodbyes to Linda and left the party.

When Linda saw them leaving in a hurry, she stood beside Elly and asked inexplicably her, "Was it serious? Their call looked very urgent."

Elly did not hear the call but she also understood that something had happened to the company and the situation was so serious that Alex panicked. She smiled and comforted Linda. "It's just work. It's okay. Let's move on."

In order not to ruin Linda's birthday, she was in no hurry to go back to Hagreaves'. She believed that Alex could handle the problem and now they were om serious trouble.

Throughout the party, Elly was absent-minded and Linda lost her joy and excitement on her birthday celebration.

The birthday party ended early and Linda urged Elly. "If you don't feel well, go to the company. You might be able to help."

In the past, Elly would certainly do whatever she wanted to do, selfishly, but as long as she had confidence in a person, she would not be as impatient as she used to be.

Elly shook her head firmly. "I might add another trouble for him if I go there. I'm sure Alex' ability will solve the problem as soon as possible.

Elly waited until the evening and she coaxed Kitten into a deep sleep but Alex never came back.

Elly was really worried. She called Secretary Gerald. The phone rang for a long time, but there was no answer, which made Elly even more worried.

After she waited for an hour, just as she was preparing to go to the company, Alex called.

"Hey, are you all right?" She asked enthusiastically, she was not worried about the company she was only thinking about his welfare.

"I'm fine." Alex" voice was a little hoarse. "I have to work overtime tonight, so I can't go home. Go to bed early. Don't wait for me."

Elly whispered to herself, 'How could she go to bed comfortably without Alex?' but her voice asked calmly. "Did the company encountered a serious problem? Your voice does not sound good . Are you ill?"

Alex felt warmth in his heart after he heard Elly's concern for him. "It didn't matter, they were just minor problems and they've been taken care of already. My voice was hoarse because I said a lot of things at the party this afternoon. You didn't have to wait for me. Go to bed early, good girl. Good night!"

With that, Alex suddenly hung up the phone.

She felt anxious as she looked at the phone screen. She knew very well that if it had been a small matter, Alex would not have to come back so late.

In fact, Alex' tone was not caused by a meeting, but by continuously shouting and abusing some employees who made mistakes and there has not been such a big mistake as it was today for a long time.

In Hargreaves, Alex pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes without looking at the material at his desk. He handled so many materials today that both his eyes were blurred.

The office door was pushed open and Brandon came in with a cup of coffee on his hands. "Would you like to sober up with a cup of coffee or go to the bedroom and have a rest? You've been working so much today."

Alex glanced faintly at the coffee and refused his kindness. "Thank you but I don't need it."

Brandon was displeased by his careless behavior, and he asked bluntly. "What's the matter with you? Why has your attitude towards me changed so much?"

"Really?" Alex asked on purpose. "What had changed?"

"You have been ignoring me more and more lately." Brandon said what he felt.

Alex put down the document he was holding and asked solemnly. "You really don't know why? Don't you know what you've done?"

"What do you mean by that?" Brandon flushed and laughed at himself. "So far, fortunately, I don't expect much from you. In your eyes, am I just your subordinate? You don't trust me all the time, you always doubt me, don't you? It was stupid of me to trust that we were friends."

Alex frowned and he wanted to say it with his own mouth but in the end he chose not to.

Without explanation, Brandon Alex' mood was worsened by the noise from the door and with unprovoked anger, he picked up the coffee cup on the table and threw it down. Coffee splashed in his office. A strong aroma of coffee can be smelled in the muggy air.

The office door opened again, Alex shouted angrily. "Hey!"

Elly was surprised when she heard the shout of Alex, she slowly closed the door.

Alex looked down at the document and wrote speedily with a pen in his hand, regardless of who had just appeared.

Elly went into the storeroom, picked up the broom and rubbish bin, returned to the chairman's room and quickly cleaned up the broken porcelain fragments on the floor.

Alex felt that there was someone else in the room, he looked up slowly and found her picking up the garbage. He was startled. He thought of the fierce attitude just now and regretted it.

"Why are you here?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came to have a look." Elly responded gently and did not stop what she was doing.

He came up to her and said, "There is no need to clean. Someone will come tomorrow."

"It's a simple task. Why wait until tomorrow?" She pushed his hand and smiled gently.

Under his disgruntled eyes, she quickly packed up and as soon as she came out of the garbage room, she was tightly hugged by him from behind. A hoarse voice sounded in her ear.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know you were there."

Elly laughed heartily and patted his hands softly. "I know you're in a bad mood. I understand." After a few seconds of thinking she asked, "I saw Brandon left the office angrily and it seemed to me that the two of you quarreled."

Alex face became angry and your his voice was very called when he said, "He still won't admit what he did. He keeps forcing me to give evidence."

Elly turned and looked at his tired dark eyes. Her hand stroked his chest, she said. "As a matter of fact, I know that in your heart you still want him to repent, don't you?"

"It's getting late!"

Opportunities were not opened twice for the same person. Alex' smile was ironic.

"It is not that Brandon has never had a chance to take a turn for the better but because he did not cherish every opportunity given to him and he would always let me down again and again."

In the blink of an eye, Elly suddenly hugged him. Fortunately, his hand was already clasped on her waist tightly, so he held on.

"No matter what you do, I will trust you and support you."

"Thank you, Elly!" He bent down and kissed her on her lips. He needed someone to calm his emotions.

Brandon saw that Alex was frightened and had to work overtime. Everyone was asked to do the same thing, from the highest level to all departments in the offie. He dialed a number complacently. "Are you satisfied with what happened?"

Kind-hearted, but not enough.

Brandon was absolutely more greedy than he thought.

The boss needed a bigger blow and he would take advantage of this opportunity to completely destroy the company from inside. .

"Do you still want to destroy Hargreaves?" Brandon's eyes were full of hesitation.
